Hello guys, it's Xanur here from the worldcoin global forum and discord.
I'm not good with words and english is not my first language so I will get to the point.
A lot has happened the last couple of years in the history of Worldcoin. We have had our ups and downs (mostly). After the Scharmbeck incident/scam or whatever you want to call it, we lost most of our community members. Some community members tried to pick it up and continue the further development of Worldcoin.
First the Worldcoin Alliance was formed. I don't know the details, but most of the board members disappeared just like the first team. Thankfully Berzeck picked up the project and continued the development of the Worldcoin wallet. As most of you know, Berzeck stepped down in 2017 because of issues with a Chinese group of people.
Berzeck left the Worldcoin protocol mostly untouched, because of disagreement within the community. Because of this the asics/multipools hit us hard and peaks in network difficulty led to an unstable network, too fast or too slow blocktimes etc. Alferz from the Worldcoin Global forum came up with the proposal to fork Worldcoin and use the CryptoNight PoW algorithm as a (temporary) solution. I support this as a temporary solution and decided to work on this as of september.
I want to hear what the community thinks about this, and if there is support from within the community. Keep in mind this is a temporary solution and after the fork is done, I want to come up with a longterm plan for further development.
I am aiming for a fork Q4 this year. However my resources (mostly time) is also limited. Nevertheless development will continue on.
Sound great Xanur.
If there are any Devs who want to help, or anyone who is interested in joining the worldcoin community discussions on discord, please join. https://discord.gg/Hy6a3scThe beauty of cryptocurrencies is that you don't need to trust anyone. You can download the source code and build it yourself! (Though I'll admit it's a pain in the ass, I've only got the linux version of the wallet compiling right now).
You absolutely need to trust a developer of the wallet. Otherwise wallet user could lose all their coins and it might cause a fork which would destroy WDC.
You appeared here out of nowhere and said you alone will make a new wdc wallet and then few days later it's done. Then you expect that everyone will just install your wallet without any information about what is done to it and why the new wallet was needed?
Then there is this other user who just "added seednodes" to the latest old style wallet instead of just listing the nodes that users can add with addnode console command and then expect that others will install his new wallet. That is ridiculous.
